Anatole France

Simplified Meaning:

Knowing facts and information is good, but being able to think creatively and imagine new ideas is even more powerful. For example, let's say you know how to bake a basic cake. That's useful knowledge. But if you can imagine different cake flavors, decorations, and recipes, you can create something unique and exciting. In history, inventors like Thomas Edison did not just know about electricity; they imagined how it could be used in new ways to light up homes. In everyday life, if someone wants to start a business, knowing market trends is important, but imagining a new product that people would love can make all the difference. Being imaginative allows you to see possibilities others might miss and come up with innovative solutions to problems. It shows that creativity often leads to greater achievements than just having knowledge.
